MATLAB: How to simplify IF commands

Question

How can I simplify this?

if a==1; T=S(1); end

if a==2; T=S(2); end

if a==3; T=S(3); end

if a==4; T=S(4); end

if a==5; T=S(5); end

if a==5; T=S(5); end

if a==6; T=S(6); end

if a==7; T=S(7); end

if a==8; T=S(8); end

Thanks

Answer 1

if a >= 1 && a <= 8
  T = S(a);
end
